Question :
Sir, SELF and BMI (body-mind-intellect) cannot function without one another. so BMI becomes important instruments without which I cannot find my Self. In that case I get attached to them so how will I find my Self?
Sri Prabhuji :
Atmajyothi, BMI is instrument for any experience. SELF uses BMI to experience itself in life. In the process of experiencing SELF forgets itself and becomes Jiva. Jiva is lost in samsara. To recognise SELF Jiva needs intellect to discriminate SELF from non-SELF. This intellect is possible only in human life. Hence BMI is needed for SELF recognition. ATMA is recognised using intellect sharpened through Vedanta. In the process you recognise your nature SELF as absolute Peace – Parashanti. With this realization, world when viewed through purified intellect appears as SELF – this is absolute Love – Para Bhakti. Once you have realized Absolute peace and love, job of BMI is over.
